Why does really high bass sound like shit?


Recommended Posts

I hear weird rattles as well in my car when higher bass notes play.

cabin gain is different.

my friend had a 2007 scion TC with 2 12s in it and it had massive lows in the box i built.. tuned 32hz.

in his explorer with the same setup the lows are completely gone and sound like ass, but the highs are amazing.

my diagnosis is cabin gain is different.

What new car did you end up getting?

Sound dampening has a big affect on the higher stuff.

I like my LPF set between 50 and 60. But that's personal preference.

See if you can track down what is rattling

Question for you.

How do you go about setting the LPF. Do you put the knob to what it says on the amp or check it with a scope? Every time I have looked at them with a scope, they seem to be off from what the knob says. Or do you just do it by ear?
